How is interest calculated?

Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Accounts General Terms and Conditions for further information on how we calculate interest.

Details of our full range of products and current interest rates are available on request at our branches, by telephone 01257 235003 or from our website www.chorleybs.co.uk/savings

Interest Rate Definitions

  1. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added to the account once each year.
  2. Gross – The gross rate of interest is the interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted (if you do pay tax)

Can Chorley Building Society change the interest rate? 

This account has a variable rate of interest and is subject to change; this means we may increase or decrease interest rates at any time. If we reduce the interest rate and you have at least £100 in your account, we will give you 14 days notification prior to the change and you will have a period of 30 days from the date of the notification to switch or close your account.

Please refer to section 7 of the Savings Accounts General Terms and Conditions for further information on how and why we may change the interest rate.

What would the estimated balance be after 12 months
based on a £150 per month deposit? 

Based on an opening date of 1st January at the lower rate of interest, if you deposited £150 per month in this account, after 12 months you would have £1,824.47. This projection is for illustration purposes only and does not take into account your individual circumstances. This assumes that an initial investment of £150 is made on 1st January, additional investments of £150 are made on the 1st day of subsequent months, and that no withdrawals or changes in interest rate within the 12 month period.

How do I open and manage my account?
